Off-campus study

Matt Biwer The ACM Tanzania program was unlike anything I have ever done in my life. Camping in the Serengeti, living and researching at Laetoli, visiting Olduvai Gorge, and traveling to Zanzibar and rainforests were experiences that will last a lifetime. My time in Tanzania and the effect it had on me is far-reaching; it really helped when applying for to graduate school and gave me an idea of what I wanted to do with my life. Staying with my host dad was something so unique and fun that I will never forget. The Tanzanian people are some of the most carefree, helpful, and enjoyable people I have ever met, and I do hope that I can go back some day!

—Matt Biwer, Tanzania, Fall 2007
